Wish it was that easy.

(example 1) Run Twitter app, launch web link. Click 3 or 4 more links. Want to go back to Twitter? Click back arrow about 5 times. Back arrow has no way to know if you meant back 1 page, or back to previous app. (Similar things happen with many many apps).

(example 2) Run book reader. Run Twitter. Click back arrow to go back to book (works fine). Click back arrow to go back to Twitter (oops, doesn't work).

(in example 2 - would like app to go back & forth between reader & twitter)

Went back & forth with the maker of QuickSwitch (a pretty neat app on it's own) describing what I was looking for. He's looking into it as well :)

OH - also btw - an all called Clutch Pad does similar things (including a last app), but having a bad time triggering the event regularly. If/when it runs perfectly every time it would handle everything I mentioned! The dev there is also very responsive.

Thanks to all for help - I was hoping this last app thing would be like the home thing that Jordan5222 made - something that a dev would spend 10 minutes making. If it's a big project, it's not that important!
[Android Software Development] Jordan5222:
Give a try to this if it's ok. I don't have your launcher so i can't test it.

Let me know how it work or if I don't have understood well what you want.
[Android Software Development] polstein:
Downloading now.

Installed... loading app list in program.. hmm, not working on Gesture Launcher.

I tried to load up Twitter, then load up NewsRob (rss reader). Then I ran the program from GL. GL shows it found the app & ran it, but nothing happened.

To test it further, I re-ran Twitter & Newsrob. Then using the hold-down-home, I ran your app over & over again. This correctly switched between Twitter & Newsrob.

Do you have Gesture Editor as an ignored-app (ie, if I launch your app from GL, it doesn't go to the last app - which is GL) ?

I'll gladly pay for your license for the GL if you'd like to try it yourself. I'm getting kinda curious if this is do-able at this point, since I think these 2 apps can be used for many different alternate launchers (like GL, Clutch Pad, Swipe Pad [actually, this last app would be fricking amazing in Swipe Pad])
[Android Software Development] Jordan5222:
i don't understand how many tasks i have to go back without using your launcher. i have only gesture search.

i don't guarantee that will work with the launcher but i can at least try.

i don't know the others launcher, are they similar?

-----------------------

EDIT

Just in case.. give a try to this, maybe it will work in gesture launcher

http://db.tt/3EKXugO
[Android Software Development] polstein:
Downloading new version now.

The other launchers are similar - you can try SwipePad for free from the market. SwipePad gives you some hot points - you click on them and 12 favorite apps/shortcuts appear (so it's drag from corner to shortcut to launch it). I've actually read in the SP thread about people asking to make the bottom 3 apps the most recent ones.

The 1st version of Back 2 Home works *perfectly* with Slide Pad. I'll have to play tomorrow with it, the home program & SwipePad (played a bit in the car on the way home) - but it worked very, very well !

2nd version of Back 2 Task seems to work about the same. Works well with SwipePad, not at all with Gesture Launcher. Works with press & hold of home button. What's the difference between the versions?

I'll actually have to think a bit of which launcher makes more sense. Gesture Launcher allows unlimited programs & shortcuts (limited by memory really), but is slower. Slide Pad allows 12, but is quicker. Both do Shortcuts (like a Folder Organizer folder) & Applications. GL seems to have a problem with Sense's Mail app (it gets stuck there).

With you app (currently) working perfectly in SwipePad, (and the home app too) it's a big ++ for SwipePad. I'll search for the thread of Slide Pad and ask them to test out the Home app & both versions of the Last app & see if we can get some other people in on this.

Either way, you might want to publish the 1st version of Back to the Task on the market as well for people that can't otherwise get to it.

...and once again, thanks for your work!

Edit - I noticed that sometimes I called it "Slide Pad", and sometimes "Swipe Pad" - the free one I'm talking about is SwipePad Beta - sorry, getting mixed up in all the names!

Edit 2 - In the name of the warped: Currently playing with a combination of SwipePad & Gesture Launcher. My 3x4 grid that I'll be experimenting with tomorrow is:

sms/mail/contact group manager

ireader/camera/quick settings

internet/newsrob/tweetcaster premium

gesture launcher/lassie come home/back to the task

I have Swipe shortcuts to my most common apps used. I have Swipe set to use bottom corners, so BTTT is at a very quick position, as is home. I can use Gesture Launcher to access the other programs (including Gestures to get to my 5 Folder Organizer folders).

I did experiment briefly with putting a Favorite Folder Organizer folder in the bottom left, but Back to the Task had similar problems as Gesture Launcher with it (it kept puling up the folder as a task).

Lessee. Direct SwipePad for most common apps. SwipePad into 20 or so memorized apps in Gesture Launcher. SwipePad into GestureLauncher (shapes are 1-5) to get to my Apps/Games/Internet/Multimedia/Tools Folder Organizer stuff - sounds good to me :)
[Android Software Development] Jordan5222:
ok, what works better? 1st version or 2nd version? so i can restore it eventually and re upload.

From tomorrow i have more time so i can try with launchers.. We use the phone in a different way, i've never use these launchers, i have many icons on the home screen.
[Android Software Development] polstein:
I'll have to play with version 1 for a day, then uninstall and try 2 to know for sure. Limited (under 5 minute) testing - they seem to be the same.

I was thinking about an exclusion list/ignore list - problem is, I'm not sure where you would build it unless you (in theory) had 2 apps: The one that did last app, and a separate config app.

This morning, I did hit some force closes on the app (it gave me a FC, then oddly worked anyway). I wound up rebooting my phone & haven't hit any yet.

Also, while it's only been a couple of hours, this entire layout thingy I'm doing seems very promising. Like you, I was just using 12 icons on my today screen, backed with Launcher Pro (5 dock icons are all Folder Organizer shortcuts). While it works, it never felt that smooth.

The plus is that you don't have any extra apps in memory, so it's pretty fast. And when you go to your home screen to launch an app, you can see other widgets (weather, maybe a to-do list..etc).

On the flip side, I was getting annoyed at being in a program, hitting home, hitting a folder, then running the app. At this rate, my home button won't last much longer! I don't like most recent apps since they apps aren't always in the same spot. I don't want to have to stare at my screen & look for a specific icon to run a program.

So in short, it just feels like android could do better. My current solution is defiantly over-complicated.. but so far working for me (with your help!).

SwipePad is free - if you are really curious, download a copy and give it at least a day to play with. Try putting your last app on one of the bottom corners & experiment a bit. Heck, for all I know, in a couple days I'll toss this idea out & go back to where you are now myself.

EDIT: Found out that SwipePad works on lock screen (or does on Widget Locker, which I use). So I removed all sliders from Widget Locker and now using SwipePad as my hidden unlocker. SwipePad to Back to the Task does the same thing as a normal unlock - goes to the last app running before Widget Locker :)
[Android Software Development] Jordan5222:
I have installed Swipepad beta. Bttt does not work. Later when i return home i try to fix it. Interesting way to use the phone and navigate trough the various things you're doing.

---------------------------------------

EDIT

Just fixed...

can you try with swipepad? http://db.tt/3EKXugO

Is this the correct behaviour that it's expected to have?
[Android Software Development] polstein:
I've been using Swipe Pad for a few days, and BTTT is behaving mostly correct. It's a real fast way to jump to the last task. Only problem I hit is when the last app is Gesture Launcher or a Folder Organizer folder (which register as the last "app").
[Android Software Development] Jordan5222:
the problem is exactly that. Different launchers and apps behave in different ways and we need to go back in different ways :(
[Android Software Development] polstein:
Agreed. I had a feeling when I first posted that the last app wasn't a simple thing.

Still, I think the way it works is fine for what I need. If you really want to make it into something more professional, the only way I can see doing it would be to implement some sort of "ignore apps on this list."

If your Last App ignored Home/Widget Locker/Gesture Launcher/Folder Organizer/Swipe Pad it would be perfect.

For a quick app made for 1 user (anyone else using it that isn't posting?) - it's fine the way it is (and one again, thanks for the apps!)
[Android Software Development] Jordan5222:
There was 20 active installation few days ago. Don't know who s using lassie.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ulyaoth:
I was wandering around the forums, and ended up being jealous of all the EVO, nexus one and nook color users(possibly more), so I was wondering, will we poor HD2 users ever get a taste of the sweet honeycomb? I'd simply love to see it running on HD2, even if it is a bit laggy. Or a lot since it's the SDK. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ulyaoth:
woops - I obviously meant Honeycomb in the title :P

Waaahaha, your killing me man. Great misspelling though :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ulyaoth:
ummm not quite the answer I was looking for, but, thanks anyway? :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matcoder:
Yes I think like you.

Why we do not see honeycomb at hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Honeycomb wouldn't be extremely handy on our phones due to the obvious fact that it's meant for tablets, but I agree that it would be nice to be able to boot it up, preferably from SD, if only for the wow factor, or to test drive the OS if considering purchasing a tablet. I find it a little odd that the usual response for honeycomb questions/requests is that it would be of no use on our screen size, when everybody loves being able to boot Ubuntu, which is made originally for PC's, not cel phones. What's the big difference with Honeycomb right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ulyaoth:
Right! But I have a hunch that google will release a phone version as well - now that android is all that popular, google shouldn't cut us off at 2.3.3! I mean, there has to be an update for us as well, hasn't there??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Buff McBigstuff:
LMAO that's a Tragic Typo. Once on yahoo answers I saw a question that said "At what age should I expect my daughter to do her own hoework and stop need my help?" Anyway, HC is nice but I have a nook and I don't think it will translate to the phone sized screen well. I also have an EVO and I haven't tried it on there for that reason. I think that HC will come eventually, I just don't feel that it will be as good of an experience because of the lack of screen real esate. Hc has a bunch of onscreen buttons and stuff that will probably be too cramped.

HC UI is specifically made for tablet screen sizes.

Rumor has it the next MAJOR version of android (Ice Cream) will attempt to unify gingerbread and honeycomb...or at least bring some elements of HC to phones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
The next MAYOR version of android (icecream) won't be happening for a while, since the word on the net is that the next version of android is 2.4, and there's not gonna be sufficient changes on the OS to require a name change, like when android went from 2.0 to 2.1 it stayed with the name Eclair, so when we get 2.4 it's still gonna be Gingerbread, so I wouldn't expect IceCream to be around 'til 2.5 maybe. We're certainly not getting an official version of Honeycomb for our phones. :cool:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost010:
some noobish questions.

im stock 2.3.3 now.

and i was wondering.

how is the backup process for stock.

when cosing a custom kernel?

what is it that i need to backup?

and wanting a new kernel.also means rooting my nexus S

so do i have to put in a new boot loader?

or can it be done in just the recovery mode?

and will i lose my file's/apps or is there a save way of doing it without losing it.

i have zero experience with clock work and rooting nexus S.

i used to root my galaxy spica.but that was way easier(for me) than rooting nexus S.

id love to know what the nandroid backup process is and stuf.

because.ofc i want to go back to stock some day or when 2.4 is out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GchildT:
PaulOBrien has created a "superboot" to root android 2.3.3. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet, when you do so *warning* your device including SD card will be wiped so backup any data you don't want to lose.

View Paul's thread on the process.

[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
Hi all,

Now I've not tried this myself however a friend of mine who recently got a DHD said he was lucky if the battery lasted a day on a full charge however by turning "Data roaming" off (even though he is not roaming) he is now getting anything between 2-3 days on one charge :eek:
[Desire HD General] CodeJACK:
Data roaming was turned off by default on mine and still the battery drained pretty quick.

Using data of any kind will affect the battery badly. Notes Traveler on my device is the cause of it needing charging every day.

Same as any phone, the more you disable the longer the battery will last.
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
If everything was implemented correctly by HTC, turning off Roaming should have no impact on battery life at all (provided you don't use Roaming).

I believe that your friend experienced the typical warm-up phase. For some (a lot?) people the battery life is terrible when they first use the DHD, but it gradually gets better.

Your friend probably attributes the increase of battery life to the disabled Roaming, while it is just a "natural" process.
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
I'm roaming all the time, and my battery is actually pretty good. If i don't use it much it can easily survive two days. My record is three days with light usage. (That was with the stock 1.72 ROM)
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
What is data roaming anyway???
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
Data roaming is set off by default. And data roaming controls data transfer when you are not on your home operator/network, i.e when traveling.
[Desire HD General] kotty:
are your friend meant data connection?
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
He probably means "3G" off? I've had mine since the end of October and got into the habit of charging the phone every night. But then wondered about the effects of turning off wifi and 3G as, currently, I'm at home most of the time and have a PC with 24" screen to play with. Anyhow, with 3G and wifi turned off most of the time I get 3 days or so from a charge. I haven't investigated turning just one or the other off as life's too short ....

HTH

Dave

PS: and someone will say, well what's the point of a smart phone if you're just using it like a dumb phone? Well, the "smart" bit here in this case is me .... :D
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
Yeah, 3G uses a bit, so the first thing i did was to disable it. No point for me using it actually, since it's WiFi all over the place here i live. If i need it, i'll simply enough just toggle it on.
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
You're roaming all the time and then in the next post you say that the first thing you did was to disable 3g... Are you just posting in order to follow others opinions or what?

And btw 3g doesn't actuality use much more power when compared to wifi, if you always use it somewhere where the signal is always poor then it's another thing.
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
If I meant 3G then that's what I would of said. So just to be clear, there is an option "Data Roaming" that when turned on will enable a data connection when you are in another country. My friend claims that while on his home network he has turned this option off and he has seen a big improvement on battery performance. If this is true or not I'm not sure, I just simply thought I would share his thoughts with everyone else. :cool:
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
I did this, once i remembered where it was and I got my old battery life back. So thats a bonus, not having to take my charger to work!

Hi guys, I have a quick question and I don't know how well this will go down but I thought I'd ask anyways....

Since we can decompile .apk's can we also cut and paste functions as well as pre-compiled bins?

I'm really interested in the cross compiled bins since it would be easier grabbing something that has already been done ( it sounds lazy but I'm only just beginning with Android app inventor and a couple of android books.)

again i'm really noob and don't want to offend anyone because of the hours of work that goes into development, but I feel the tool would be a great way to learn both code and structure..

cheers for any help and please understand i'm just curious
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flokey:
Sorry.. It isn't that easy. there are just binaries, no code.

But there are a lot of websites like http://www.anddev.org/ that have lots of code snippets and tutorials (I mean REALLY lots, tons, millions) you just have to look a little bit around... they are really good, for beginners too

But I'd recommend very basic hello world tutorials first and then a little later use the codesnippets and play around with them... understanding your code is important, otherwise you will get stuck when your code crashes and you have no idea why... and that sucks when you already have several thousand lines of code.

Trial and error and basic steps...

I'm just sayin'
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andytof46:

thanks for that, I am on my way to better understanding things now.

Good evening,

I posted earlier, but my thread got moved to the Milestone XT720 discussions. I do not have that phone, I own the normal Milestone 1 with android 2.1 update 1, the one with hardware keyboard, 600mhz, 256mb ram, etc.

I'd like to know if someone could help me setup the Cyanogen Froyo rom… I have read some instructions on the forum's but it seems to confuse me… clear step by step instructions would help me a lot.

I'd also like to be able to revert back to the stock settings, if possible, I'd like to know how to do that later on. I am from South Africa, falling under EMEA region as far as I know. Is it possibe to 'un root' the phone?

It is currently not rooted, haven't done anything with the phone in regarding roms, rooting etc, as I'm not sure what to do exactly.

The Firmware on my phone is SHOLS_U2_02.36.0.

Thank you very much.
